The sequel to Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur (GOW) will release on August 10, confirms Vikram Malhotra, COO Viacom18 Movies. The production house has apparently decided to release the second one part sooner than planned, to benefit from part one’s box office acceptance. Despite
an ‘A’ certificate, GOW received a good response from the audience and important acclaim in addition. It has already collected a net total of R14.75 crore.
During the weekend, it saw 100 per cent occupancy in theatres, while on weekdays it was between 80 per cent and 90 per cent.
“The film, despite its blood and gore, grips you as it specializes in a very powerful emotion – revenge. Individuals are waiting to peer how the drama enfolds,” says trade analyst Tarun Adarsh.
With a viewing time of 5 hours (part 1 and a couple of together), Wasseypur is Anurag’s most ambitious project yet.
He says, “We took gamchas to Cannes and it became a method statement there with people wearing it over their Armanis. These innovative strategies helped us escape with this kind of long film.”
